Thanks for sharing, I’ve been using Skyways since they 1st hit the BMX market.
Fun fact, Ken (one of the owners) is a car guy, into old Camaros. The large guy, who was spinning and showing the New version of Skyway mags, name is Ed, and he is the main distributor of Skyway products with his Planet BMX, he is also responsible for the modern TA, probably the best riding “Retro” frame sets out there.
Back in the early 2000s, he was working in the bike shop I used to work in, and I would still had the privilege of building my bicycles there, whenever I wanted. Ed use to race, but was pretty much out of it when I got into building the Retro bikes ( my Azusa was the 1st modern interpretation of a vintage brand (JMC) and only 20 were made) and I was telling Ed that there were a lot of guys like me who were interested in modern versions of our favorite bikes, clearly he listened to me and eventually Ran with it and he is a Major force in the industry today.
And I still have a set of original Graphites with Campy hubs from the 80s as well as the modern version in both 20”&24”.
